Legend of Wyatt

George Thorn’s ’forbearance,’ Wyatt Barnes naturally did not know.

After George Thorn left, before the ’Desolate Territory Grand Tournament’ began, Wyatt devoted more of his thoughts to alchemy.

Not only did he help the Sect of Grand Unity refine all the herbs Cain Iron had given into Rowan Heaven Pill, but he also learned a lot about alchemy from the three top-grade alchemical masters of the Sect of Grand Unity.

After a deep discussion, Wyatt realized many of his past shortcomings, and his alchemy skills improved continuously during this process.

"Alchemist Barnes, your talent in alchemy is extremely rare in the world!"

Witnessing Wyatt Barnes’s alchemical skills improve at an incredibly exaggerated speed, the three top-grade alchemical masters of the Sect of Grand Unity were all greatly shocked, and eventually, they became numb.

During their time with Wyatt Barnes, the three top-grade alchemical masters of the Sect of Grand Unity gradually understood Wyatt Barnes, knowing that he was not only humble but also knew how to be grateful.

Therefore, when they guided Wyatt Barnes, they held nothing back.

Under such circumstances, Wyatt Barnes’s alchemical skills continued to improve rapidly.

As time passed, the ’Desolate Territory Grand Tournament’ also began.

However, Wyatt Barnes, wholly immersed in alchemy, did not go to the ’Desolate Territory Grand Tournament’ to join the fun.

Instead, he stayed in the Sect of Grand Unity, discussing Pill Tao with the three top-grade alchemical masters of the Sect of Grand Unity and gradually becoming adept at deducing new insights from their teachings...

Among these, the memories left to Wyatt Barnes by the ’Martial Emperor of the secular realm’ played a significant role.

Initially, the three top-grade alchemical masters of the Sect of Grand Unity completely regarded Wyatt Barnes as a junior to be instructed, believing that forming a good relationship with Wyatt Barnes would bring them infinite benefits without any harm.

But later, Wyatt Barnes’s ability to deduce new insights broadened their horizons considerably.

Their alchemy skills also saw some progress, albeit minor.

For them, this was an unexpected joy.

"Alchemist Barnes!"

One day, after Russel Yorke and Joshua Davies, two top-grade alchemical masters of the Sect of Grand Unity, had left first, Hunter Swayer stopped Wyatt Barnes, who was intending to leave.

On this day, Wyatt Barnes had been discussing Pill Tao with the three at Hunter Swayer’s residence.

"Alchemist Swayer, do you need anything?"

Wyatt Barnes paused his departing motion. He turned to Hunter Swayer with a puzzled expression.

At this moment, Wyatt Barnes noticed that Hunter Swayer’s face was very serious, and his eyes were filled with a deep seriousness.

"Alchemist Barnes, the Desolate Territory Grand Tournament is nearing its end..."

"After the Desolate Territory Grand Tournament, including our Sect of Grand Unity, the three major sects of the Desolate Territory will send the outstanding participants this time into the ’small world’ left by the Immortal King stronghold... You should already know this, right?"

Hunter Swayer asked.

"Yes."

Wyatt Barnes nodded.

Seeing Wyatt Barnes nod, Hunter Swayer continued, "I know, Alchemist Barnes, you’re not yet a hundred years old, and you are essentially a ’Daai Law Golden Immortal’... The Sect Leader definitely wants you to also enter that small world, to seek the treasures left behind by the Immortal King stronghold on behalf of the sect."

"I want to advise you, Alchemist Barnes, if the Sect Leader asks you to go, you must refuse... Because it’s too dangerous!"

"Though it is said ’fortune favors the bold,’ but so far, from what I know... Those who have entered that small world either were killed by formations when forcibly breaking in or died inside, with none managing to survive!"

Hunter Swayer spoke solemnly, staring unblinkingly at Wyatt Barnes, his face and eyes full of seriousness, "As long as you refuse, Alchemist Barnes, the Sect Leader will not insist."

"As far as I know... Only those under a hundred years old can enter that small world. And so far, the strongest who have entered that small world seem to only be ’Blue Sun Golden Immortals,’ right?"

Wyatt Barnes said.

"Yes."

Hunter Swayer nodded, "But no one dares to say a Purple Sun Golden Immortal can survive inside... nor does anyone dare to say a Daai Law Golden Immortal can survive inside."

"Why? Alchemist Swayer, are you afraid I will enter that small world, and then perish inside?"

Wyatt Barnes asked with a smile.

"With your progress in alchemy and your talent, you are definitely the most outstanding I’ve encountered in my life... Such a Pill Tao genius, I really don’t want you to risk entering that small world."

"Though you may gain some fine possessions by entering that small world, should anything happen, you would be sacrificing your life!"

Hunter Swayer spoke gravely, "Given your talent in alchemy, your future achievements in Pill Tao are limitless... When you rise in the future, not to mention Immortal Kings, you may even have the chance to interact with Immortal Sovereigns and even Immortal Emperors."

"In comparison... A mere small world left by an Immortal King amounts to nothing."

In his remarks, Hunter Swayer also did not wish for Wyatt Barnes to adventure into that small world.

"Rest assured, Alchemist Swayer... I am clear about this matter."

Wyatt Barnes could see that Hunter Swayer was genuinely concerned about his safety, and his heart was filled with warmth.

"That’s good."

Upon hearing Wyatt Barnes’ words, Hunter Swayer nodded his head and let out a sigh of relief.

He truly did not want anything to happen to Wyatt Barnes.

His intentions were very simple: he didn’t want a pill Tao genius like Wyatt Barnes to die in the small world left by that Immortal King.

After saying goodbye to Hunter Swayer, Wyatt Barnes left and returned to the ’Main Island’ among the nine Upper Immortal Isles of the City of Grand Unity Immortal Sect, back to the residence Cain Iron had arranged for him and Leilany on the Main Island.

"Leilany’s seclusion this time has lasted quite long... I wonder if she will breakthrough again..."

Wyatt Barnes glanced at the room where Leilany was, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Currently, Leilany was already a ’Earth-tier Love Rowan Upper Immortal’.

Although she had not fully grasped the Immortal Method and Divine Ability from inherited memories, with her strength, she was still rarely challenged among Earth-tier Love Rowan Upper Immortals, with few able to match her.

This was despite Leilany only having a rudimentary mastery of the Immortal Method and Divine Ability from her inherited memories.

If she were to master them further, her strength would greatly increase, and at that time, defeating immortals of higher realms would be commonplace for her.

"If Leilany breaks through again, she will become a ’Heaven-tier Love Rowan Upper Immortal’... Even if she has not fully mastered the Immortal Method and Divine Ability from her inherited memories, her strength will be comparable to most Heaven-tier Love Rowan Upper Immortals!"

With this thought, Wyatt Barnes’ heart was filled with anticipation.

He eagerly awaited Leilany’s next breakthrough, hoping she would achieve ’Heaven-tier Love Rowan Upper Immortal’.

"Furthermore... Leilany is only in her teens now, so it’s quite normal for her not to have deep mastery of Immortal Method and Divine Ability."

"Give her another ten years, or several decades, or even longer, to fully master the various Immortal Methods and Divine Abilities in her inherited memories... then her strength will far surpass most of the existences in the same realm! She might even surpass multiple realms to defeat opponents!"

Thinking of this, Wyatt Barnes’ heart trembled with excitement.

It’s hard to imagine how powerful Leilany will be at that time...

"In two days, the ’Desolate Territory Competition’ should be about over... After it ends, the three major sects in the Desolate Territory will also send people into the ’small world’ left by the Immortal King."

"I will also go in with Leilany."

If he hadn’t encountered that mysterious young man with the surname Patel, Wyatt Barnes wouldn’t have ventured into that small world, nor would he have let Leilany risk it.

Even though Leilany was already a formidable ’Love Rowan Upper Immortal’!

After encountering the mysterious young Patel, and learning the details about the small world, he felt more assured.

Additionally, having promised the young Patel to enter the small world and help him search for the Emperor Grade Immortal Artifact he desired, Wyatt Barnes would bring Leilany into the small world after the Desolate Territory Competition ends.

"However... According to Brother Patel: Within that small world, only existences above Love Rowan Upper Immortal can survive. Yellow-tier Love Rowan Upper Immortals can only protect themselves; Mystic-tier Love Rowan Upper Immortals can barely protect one other person in addition to themselves."

Recalling what the mysterious young Patel had told him, Wyatt Barnes’ expression turned solemn:

"When the three major sects in the Desolate Territory decide to send people into that small world... if possible, I need to find a way to prevent more people from going to their doom."

Although Wyatt Barnes never thought of himself as exceptionally kind,

he couldn’t just sit by and watch a bunch of people rush into the small world to their deaths.

"Time is running out... need to think of a solution quickly."

In the days that followed, between "Alchemy" and training, Wyatt Barnes began thinking of various solutions...

Soon, a flash of inspiration struck his mind:

"Got it!"

"If this works, while it might not stop some deaths in that small world, it could prevent further casualties!"

On the day the Desolate Territory Competition concluded, Wyatt Barnes thought of a solution that might reduce casualties.

However, it was only a ’might’.

After the Desolate Territory Competition ended, the Sect Leader of the City of Grand Unity Immortal Sect, ’Daven Buckingham’, who personally attended the competition, returned.

"Sect Leader!"

Just as Daven Buckingham came back, Wyatt Barnes personally sought him out.

This time, it was the City of Grand Unity’s turn to host the Desolate Territory Competition, and as the host, Daven Buckingham, the Sect Leader of the City of Grand Unity Immortal Sect, naturally had to oversee things personally, and personally welcome people from the Thousand Spiders Sect and Dragon Warrior Sect.

"Alchemist Barnes, is there something urgent you need?"

Just back and barely settled, Daven Buckingham saw the hurried Wyatt Barnes:

"If you have an urgent matter, you didn’t need to wait for my return... you could have come to the Desolate Territory Competition site or sent someone to pass on a message to me."
